[CHALLANT] - Grande messale festivo di Giorgio di Challant. Ivrea: Priuli & Verlucca Editori, 1993.   Reproduction of the large missal currently preserved in the Collegiate Church of Sts. Peter and Orso in Aosta. Commissioned by Giorgio di Challant in the late fifteenth century, this meticulously crafted manuscript portrays significant scenes such as the Crucifixion, the Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Nativity, and various saints' feasts. Beyond being mere stylistic embellishments, the decorative and figurative elements play an essential role in the overall iconographic layout and textual expression of the manuscript.   (510 x 340mm). Copy no. 259 of 366. Detailed colour reproduction of the original manuscript. Binding in half-brown calf with side ties. Enclosed in a calf case with wooden bases. With the commentary volume. (2)
